Feature Freud's Tico¿ Hi-Density carbide. Review: Great choice for a dado set - After researching and shopping around for a dado set, I finally decided on the Freud SD208. Bear in mind, for the last 30 plus years, my personal set was a Craftsman Kromedge 8" 'Satin Edge' dado set, which wasn't all that bad. While the chippers were carbide, the 2 main blades were not. I could still cut plywood, but solid wood looked more like I was cutting my dados with a torch! Our shop had a nice 10" Freud set, but I've retired and no longer have access to it My main priorities for a replacement set were; 1) good carbide, 2) good clean cut and flat bottom, and 3) price that won't break the bank. Obviously that last point eliminated the 10" sets, and even if you could find a decent price on a 10" set, chances are you're going to sacrifice on the carbide and/or cut. As far as my intended use, since retiring I now just make cabinets, bookcases, and woodwork for family, friends and fun. So my budget was under $150. The first thing I noticed removing the blades from the case was how big the carbide teeth are on the main blades. The alternating bevel teeth are big, but the main chipper looks huge. Installing the blades, the shaft hole fits snug but doesn't catch like some of my old blades.The shims require a little patience as the thinnest ones can fall in the shaft threads, but from my experience that's just the facts of life. It cuts effortlessly, clean, and smooth. I'm satisfied overall, with only two small issues. First is, the smallest dado you can cut is a full 1/4" (using just one blade), which makes my drawer bottoms a little sloppy. I want a little clearance for expansion, but this is too much. I tried using one chipper blade as they're thinner, but that's not what they're designed for and it splintered the wood. Of course this has more to do with modern plywood dimensions, but dado manufacturers know the industry trends. Second, while there is a good assortment of shims for a wide variety of widths, I would like to see included in the set a 1/16" chipper. I have one in my old set and it seems like I used it in almost every setup I encountered. I don't know if even more expensive sets include them or maybe they're a thing of the past. And I know the shims give an almost infinite variety of widths. But after 30 plus years of using one, it was my go-to blade. I consider these minor nuisances, and the plus factor of beefy carbide teeth clearly outweighs my narrow dado issue. If I were to purchase another set today, I wouldn't hesitate to get this one. I've never had a bad experience with Freud, they are a top-notch company. I'm still using re-sharpened 20 year old Freud blades in my shop today! Review: Great blades, awesome value. Highly recommend. - Awesome dado stack at a reasonable price. Lots of possible configuration for precision dados. Comes with 2 outside cutter blades, 3 chippers, 3 spacers and a variety of thin shims in a range of thicknesses. I bought this to use on my SawStop pro and it fits great. If you have a Sawstop you need the dado brake and you will need to adjust the spacing every time you switch back and forth, which is not a huge hassle after you do it a few times. This would be the case with this saw and any dado stack. I like the blade holder it comes with. Make sure to hold on to the paper that comes with it because it shows you how many blades, spacers, shims, etc you need to achieve a give width of cut. Make sure none of the carbide tips are touching and are staggered when you install the stack so as to not chip any of the carbide teeth. My only complaint is that there are no detailed instructions on how to use a dado stack so if you are a beginner and never used one before I recommend watching some youtube videos. ## Features - Features Freud's TiCo Hi-Density Carbide with Titanium for long life and a flawless finish - The negative hook angles make flat bottom grooves and virtually splinter-free cuts - Slot widths from 1/4-inch to 13/16-inch in 1/16-inch increments - Set includes two outer blades and 3 two wing chippers (3- 1/8" chippers & 3- 1/16" spacers) - Includes shim set for micro adjustments ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0000223O9 | | Best Sellers Rank | #200,649 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #503 in Circular Saw Blades | | Brand | Freud | | Brand Name | Freud | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Circular saws | | Compatible Material | Wood | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,007 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00008925330622 | | Included Components | 1 stacked saw blade | | Item Type Name | 8" Pro Stack Dado | | Item Weight | 0.3 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Freud | | Material | Carbide | | Material Type | Carbide | | Model | SD208 | | Number of Teeth | 8 | | Part Number | SD208 | | Set Name | Freud 8 In.

Professional Stacked Dado (SD208) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61bd6qtcZLL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this blade (s) Negative, or Positive blade hook? I will be using this to cross-cut dado's with a Radial Arm Saw, hence i need to know the hook angle.** A: The blades have a positive hook. I have used it for cross cutting dado on my Sears radial arm saw and it works very well with perfect flat-bottomed slots. It is a bit "grabby", so I use it by starting the saw when it is pulled all the way towards me and then cutting on a push stroke. When cutting on a pull stroke you have to be very careful on the feed rate as it will stall the motor. **Q: I have a saw which has a 1 inch arbor in length and it's 5/8 in dia would this dado blade be okay to use ,my saw is a contractor saw with 3 hp motor?** A: Abb, I´m not sure if it would fit completely...The 5/8" diameter is OK, also the 3 hp motor. But the 1" arbor lenght wouldn´t be enough to fit all blades and shims up to 7/8, plus arbor nut and flange. You have to look if nut plus flange is bigger than 1/8" and decide.But the set is awsome.Hope I have your question cleared. **Q: The feature list says it has 3 2-wing chippers and 2 blades. The description says 2 blades and 5 2-wing chippers. Which is right?** A: Hi marshall: The SD208 set has 2 outside saw blades and (5) two wing chippers and does dadoes from 1/4" to 13/16" in 1/16" increments. This is one of those instances where Amazon doesn't allow me to go in and correct these typos myself. I do have these in stock.best regards,Chuck RankinWood Tech Enterprises, Inc.P.O. Box 2226Fairview, NC 28730 USAPhone: 828-628-4414Fax: 828-628-4490 **Q: Is there any thing I need to know about throat plates and this saw kit. Does any throat plate fit this saw kit. Are they all one size? Thanks** A: Hello Inforsearcher,The throat plate should be compatible with your table saw, that's the most important thing. If you search "(your saw model number) throat plate" or " (your saw # again) zero clearance plate" you should be able to find one that works well with your saw. Now, since you're planning on using this dado set, try to find a compatible plate that says "dado" or "dado set", it will usually have a space made for wider dado sets rather than for a regular kerf saw blade. Hope that helps. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great choice for a dado set *by L***. on May 9, 2016* After researching and shopping around for a dado set, I finally decided on the Freud SD208.

I needed to cut some 15/32 inch dadoes to fit what supposedly is 1/2" plywood. Following the guide on the case insert, I stacked the left outside blade, a 1/16" spacer, a 1/8" chipper, the .020" & .012 shims and the right outside blade. I set the height and fence and proceeded to make my cuts. The results in poplar were excellent. The dado width was spot on and the 15/32" plywood fit into the dado beautifully. The edges were perfect and the bottoms were flat. There was minuscule tear out when exiting the dado (maybe a half dozen wood fibers not cleanly cut off). If there was anything I wish Freud would have done differently is make the instruction sheet a little more permanent. I almost threw it in the trash with the rest of the packaging.
